Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train (1980) (325 Points,9 votes)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRbPWcLode0

Man, Quiet Riot II is just such a disappointing album cover. Like, from a thumbnail jpg, I was like "Whoa, good idea: chicks with football uniforms." but then I opened it up and nope, it was dudes. That's my long way of saying R.I.P. Randy Rhodes. Crazy Train feels played to me these days, but that riff is fucking huge.

That Hendrix clip is great, and sterling work by Lulu on the link too. I don't think I even voted for it, shame on me.

It is a great riff, but solo Ozzy never really did much for me.

And by the way, can I give a shout out to Henry, the host? What a phenomenal job he is doing.

lol I really thought I'd voted for "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Crazy Train" but they must have been in the 8 I sacrificed off the end of my ballot

After watching that clip I think part of my anti-solo Ozzy coincides with the death of Randy Rhoades. Damn was that guy good.

Metallica - Whiplash (1983) (325 Points, 10 voters)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmqmBj6DnOc

Probably would've only voted for one or both of the Seps so far.

Apparently Henry is headbanging with john right now.

earth calling markers

loooooool

Obviously he's waiting til the era he likes places.

He's not used to hearing Metallica when they were good.

Black Sabbath - Children Of The Grave (1971) (326 Points, 8 votes)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=236Lquwq22A

Ok, now here we go. Serious tunes. I actually voted for Super Stupid and not Children, because my ballot was pretty Sabbath heavy. But this list just officially started, in my opinion.

Funkadelic was nom'd??

Have you heard that song?

I thought Children Of The Grave would be higher, they basically invented stoner metal over the course of 5 minutes in that song.

And Funkadelic basically invented funk metal with that song, for better or worse (worse really).

Have you heard that song?

Yes, but still.

Oh hey my power is back on

i should let Henry know so he can post some results huh

The Forces of light tried to quell these results but I have emerged victorious and stronger for the battle.

Also I ate some ice cubes and they were delicious.

76 Danzig · Dirty Black Summer (1992) (327 points · 11 votes)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kRtTtpG8Ls

I mostly like Danzig because he likes doggies also you can tell that he was the runt of his litter so it is inspiring to see him try so hard.

I have voted for a grand total of one in this poll so far. But then, I don't think I voted for any *actual* metal.

Oh man would have liked to see refuse/resist higher, fucking love that song. Good to be reminded of Angel Witch, a song I completely love but never listen to because uh i dont know im stupid i guess.

Yes. Yes you are.

The beginning of the bland slide into pop. Creeping Bleeaaaccchhh.

A+ subject matter tho

Sorry dudes, Henry is kind of a hardliner. A while ago he asked to get a tattoo of the Kill Em All album cover and when I said he was too young he waited until I was out of the room and pooped in my Zeppelin box set.

Does Metallica ever cover classic literature anymore? I'm not familiar with the new stuff, but I can credit them for inspiring me to pick up Johnny Got His Gun, Ernest Hemingway, the Bible, and H.P. Lovecraft. The video with all the movie clips in it is great.

This was my favorite Metallica song when I was 10. I probably related to it because it was so melancholy. I love the clean solo that Kirk does in the intro. I think it drags a bit in the main body of the song; it didn't bother me then, but listening with 2010 ears I think Hetfield's singing here may be one of the earliest direct antecedents to Nickelback. The end is a blast though. Duga-dah-duga-dah-DUN! Duga-dah-duga-dah-DUN!

^ this is seriously hardcore. Anybody who can hang with Sunn0))) and pull this stunt off is not somebody to be messed with.

Children of the Grave was my #1. Black Sabbath as Bob Dylan.

it is amazing how... SMOOTH and unaggressive "One" sounds now

okay maybe not "unaggressive" but you know what I mean

Why am I hosting the blues countdown now?

why is everything suddenly from 1998

I mean if that's what's going on I want to resubmit Atari Teenage Riot for consideration

Great song! Live version rules

I can't believe "One" is in the seventies...wtf ilx???

I just looked at what the next one is and I quit.

oh I hope it's The Osmonds

I just went and looked at my ballot and One was #6 on my list. I didn't even remember that I voted for it. LOL @ hasty shuffling.

Henry is being inconsolable and working his outrage for treats at the moment but I think I can get him back on in a sec.

I used to love One

If he is stifling anyones discussion please remember that no matter how strong his opinions are he still sometimes drinks out of the toilet so xpost

dan or henry?

I can only assume that on a vigorous day of altruism Bob Barker showed up at the practice room and personally spayed and neutered this band.
